“The introduction of exciting new technologies which will increase global reach and will allow clubs to gather increased technological analysis can only be good for the national game.”

TRACKCHAMP becomes the FAI’s official video and data partner and the partnership is expected to create up to 15 jobs.The service won’t, however, be available in Ireland with the current broadcasting deals with RTÉ and Setanta Sports presumably preventing an agreement to be made.

“For us, this is about the democratisation of football,” Martin Fureder of TRACKCHAMP added.

“TRACKCHAMP is designed specifically for the ambitious leagues to help bring them closer to the likes of the Premier League and Bundesliga. We are confident that our technology will widen fan engagement and generate new commercial revenue streams for our partner leagues.”The new season begins on 4 March 2016.

Yeah I remember talking to someone who was involved with a guy who did as past of a degree or masters etc a business plan to sell tv coverage of the LOI to overseas audiences. It looked so good that they tried to being it to the FAI and get a deal done but again no interest.

On this one I see they (Trackchamp) seem to be a video analytical software company also so possible they are hoping to sell the data back to the clubs or maybe that will be available to the clubs as part of the deal. I'm only guessing maybe its just a straight tv/stream deal.
